ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2025.Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV) are two autoimmune conditions with unique etiologies and clinical presentations. Although few reports have documented rare cases in which a single individual has both conditions at the same time, it is much rarer to see them in sequence of each ...

Determining Thresholds for Computer‐Aided Detection for Silicosis—An Analytic Approach
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 464-472, May 2025.ABSTRACT Background Computer‐aided detection (CAD) is emerging as an adjunct to the use of the chest X‐ray (CXR) in screening for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). CAD for silicosis, a fibrotic lung disease due to silica dust and a strong risk factor for TB, is at an earlier stage of development and, unlike TB, depends on expert human reading for validation.

Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 7, Page 927-951, April 2025.The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.

Liposomes in Silicosis Investigations [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1983 The effects of quartz and sodium metasilicate on liposomes were studied in order to understand the mechanism of silicosis. 8-Hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid was tested for its in situ silicosis-prevention capacity. Two types of liposomes--(A) those incorporating cholesterol and (B) those without cholesterol--were used. The tests consisted of measuring

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 358-367, April 2025.ABSTRACT Background The fabrication and installation of artificial (engineered) stone countertops is a relatively new cause of silicosis. Our aim was to investigate silicosis rates in Victoria, Australia, and the association with stone countertop industry work. Methods Workers' compensation claims for silicosis from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2022

Modelling Silicosis: The Structure of Equilibria [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We analyse the structure of equilibria of a coagulation-fragmentation-death model of silicosis. We present exact multiplicity results in the particular case of piecewise-constant coefficients, results on existence and non-existence of equilibria in the general case, as well as precise asymptotics for the infinite series that arise in the case of power ...

Pulmonary Artery Stent Implantation for Fibrosing Mediastinitis: Our Clinical Experience
Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.ABSTRACT Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) can block pulmonary vessels and airways, hindering treatment efficacy. Pulmonary artery (PA) stenting might provide a solution in such cases. This study involved 30 patients who had 49 PA stenting procedures for FM.
